Automated summary
This skill introduces a structured workflow with explicit phases (planning, review, shipping, QA, retro) to guide development with an AI agent.
Strengths
- Reduces ambiguity by sequencing decisions
- Encourages thorough thinking before implementation
- Provides clear roles for each step
- Facilitates traceability and continuous improvement
Limitations
- May feel too rigid for simple or repetitive tasks
- Requires discipline to follow all phases
- Does not replace human communication
Use this skill for complex or multi-step projects where a structured approach minimizes errors and improves quality.
Avoid this skill for quick, one-off questions that do not require planning or review.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only provides a workflow selection guide without executing any system commands or external actions, so it poses no execution risk.

How this analysis is madeExamples
We need to add a dark mode to our app. Let's start with the product review phase to clarify user needs and scope.Please review this pull request for bugs and regressions, using the review phase of cstack.I have a branch ready for merge. Run the ship phase: clean checks, change notes, and release confidence.name: cstack description: Codex workflow stack inspired by gstack, with explicit modes for planning, review, shipping, QA, and retros.
cstack
Use this meta-skill when the user asks for a structured workflow rather than ad-hoc implementation.
Sub-skills
plan-product-review: clarify the real user problem, outcome, and scope boundaries before implementation.plan-eng-review: define architecture, data flow, failure modes, and test matrix before coding.review: perform bug- and regression-focused code review with severity and concrete references.ship: prepare a branch for merge with clean checks, clear change notes, and release confidence.qa: execute a lightweight but explicit validation plan and report evidence plus risk.retro: summarize wins, misses, and concrete next improvements after shipping.
Selection guide
- If the user request is about what to build, start with
plan-product-review. - If the user request is about how to build safely, use
plan-eng-review. - If the user asks for "review", default to
review. - If the user asks to finalize and deliver, use
ship. - If the user asks to test behavior, use
qa. - If the user asks for lessons learned, use
retro.
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/cstack-mrzxurvm/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/cstack-mrzxurvm' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/cstack-mrzxurvm/download' --output '.skill-downloads/cstack-mrzxurvm/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/cstack-mrzxurvm/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/cstack-mrzxurvm/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/cstack-mrzxurvm/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
